[VIDEO] Shocking Look at Horrifying 'Third World' Conditions of GA Jail Where Trump Was Booked

Officials in Georgia have recently undertaken the remarkably petty task of officially "booking" Trump, and of course, they opted to do so at the most unsavory jail imaginable.

Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia, could potentially go down as one of the most abhorrent jails in the  United States. The conditions there fall even below third-world standards, and a recent inmate death resulted from neglect and malnourishment. The inmate's body was found infested with bedbugs and lice, highlighting the dire circumstances.

For a change, CNN covered factual news and aired a brief segment on the horrifying conditions at Fulton, frequently employing the term "deplorable" to depict it.

Interesting choice of words there CNN...

From WND: 

“This place is really nothing short of a hulking, sprawling nightmare,” said CNN correspondent Brian Todd, who examined the jail as the GOP front-runner in the 2024 presidential race made his way there.

Known locally as “Rice Street” because of its address, the jail, when opened in 1989, quickly faced problems, according to Todd.

“Almost immediately after it opened, it was overcrowded, had deplorable conditions and was just a horrible place to be," he said.

“Just last month, the Justice Department announced an investigation into this place because of 'allegations of unsafe, unsanitary living conditions, excessive force and violence,'" Todd said.

While the listed jail capacity is 2,688 inmates, in April there were 3,221, he said, noting a jail population at about 120 percent.

Seven inmates died in the jail this year and 15 last year, including a 35-year-old man named Lashawn Thompson who was discovered dead in his cell in September 2021.

“His lawyers and the medical examiner say he died from neglect, malnourishment, other horrible conditions,” Todd said.

“But it was also -- he was found with bedbugs and lice just infesting his body,” he continued, noting that Thompson’s lawyers released photos of his cell.

CNN didn't post the segment on its website, but Mediaite published a clip on Thursday. Others shared the video on social media.

Look, I have very little sympathy for criminals, particularly the violent ones, but as a society, aren't we better than this?

Frankly, it is truly deplorable that we have a facility like this in the United States to incarcerate our criminals.

I mean, to have someone die of starvation and neglect, living in a bedbug infested cell is just beyond inhumane.
